Speaking candidly ahead of his relocation, the young star shared his enthusiasm for the new challenge:
« This represents not just a career breakthrough but a personal milestone. Newcastle United embodies everything I admire—rich history, passionate fans, and a relentless competitive spirit. I’m thrilled to embrace this opportunity while remaining deeply connected to my roots in France and Guinea. »
